Think Services' Game Group has announced a partnership with Reboot Communications to bring GDC to Canada in association with New Media BC's Vancouver Digital Week in May 2009, according to GamesIndustry.biz.
After breaking attendance records at the recent Austin GDC, organizers hope to bring its popular networking and learning conference to the North with a similar level of success.
*Yes, we're aware of the irony in this post considering it was written by a Canadian.

So does this mean they've chosen Vancouver as the location? Toronto imo, is a much better choice.

I would think Montreal would be a better choice than Toronto, game-developer-wise, but I must throw my hat in with Vancouver.
So will Dyack lobby for St. Catherines?

Isn't Xav Canadian? so 'our neighbor to the north' would mean he's referring to the North Pole?

It's called "the editorial we." Since Joystiq is American, I mean Canada.
Hence the point on the bottom of the post.
